How You All Doing?

[Evie1980]

I know that this has already been asked but I thought that it was time for an up-dated version. I am now over 3 weeks since my last ciggie and over 2 months since I quit. I am stoked!! I feel good though it is going to be interesting over the Christmas holidays to see if I can last the distance but I know with the Lord's help I will conquer all my fears and cravings! God bless, Evie

Hello and congrads. Hardest struggle for me too. I quit 1 month ago and tonight I smoked three cigs and yuch it tasted really bad. I through the rest of the pack out, and put a patch back on. Lets keep each other posted. PM if you want and we can encourage one each other. What has really help me in this month is asking god to give me a way out when I was tempted to smoke and he did each time. Tonight, I had a really bad fight with the hubby because he started to smoke and right in front of me. I have to remember that I can't let stressful situations get the best of me, or the cigs will get the best of me. Keep the faith. God Bless

just thought I would drop a line in and say that I haven't had a smoke in one month!!! I know that I quit 2 and a half moths but it has been 1 month since my last slip up! Though there have been times of temptation I can't believe that i made it through them all. Time surely does fly. Praise God that I have made it this far and I will keep praying for the furture. God bless, Evie

Almost a month and no cigs. Not that I don't want one in the worst way sometimes but I have beat back the cravings so far!

Ok I silipped and fell again - I don't know why but I reach a certain point that I think that I can't do without and then I have to. It's usually to do with a friend doing something to me and me really wanting to lose my temper start smoking like a chimney. As if smoking is going to help the situation and all the bad feelings will go away. I wake up the next day going - why? Why didn't you pray harder or trust the Lord to help you? Why? and then I pray for forgiveness and am starting again (again). Every time I learn something more about my relationship with others and God so atleast I am not at a total loss of nothing good happening. I hope that you are all a lot stronger than I and if you are not - trust in the Lord for the bad times will come to pass and He will give you the strength to survive it all. God bless, Evie

Don't sweat it Evie, just dust yourself off and quit again...You can do it. It usually takes at least 5 to 7 attemps before you successfully quit for good. God is with you and will help you if you lean on him...May the Lord grant you the strength that you need to beat this addiction...God bless...
